As a reminder, the iPhone 15 has not been released yet. However, interest in the iPhone 15 is already hot. This model promises major changes in all aspects, including design, hardware specifications, and camera performance, so many people are looking forward to it. However, with about 4 months left until release, I am having a lot of trouble wondering whether I should buy the iPhone 14 series or not.
If you are using the iPhone 14 or planning to switch from another smartphone to the iPhone 15 Pro series, you will have to wait about 4-5 more months. In the meantime, let’s take a look at what changes the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro will bring and how their specifications will differ.
release date
Apple sticks to the same release date every year. Therefore, the release date of the iPhone 15 is not expected to change significantly. Although the release was slightly delayed in 2020 due to COVID-19, the iPhone 13 and 14 were released at the scheduled time each year. Therefore, the release date of iPhone 15 is expected to be September 2023, and it may be delayed by about 2-3 weeks in Korea. In conclusion, there are about 5 months left to purchase the iPhone 15 series directly.
Changes to iPhone 15 Pro
Interest in the iPhone 15 Pro is very high. This model is expected to show a big difference from the iPhone 14 Pro, so let’s take a look at the main changes.
- Design: The iPhone 15 Pro is expected to have thinner bezels and rounded corners than the iPhone 14 Pro. Additionally, the long-awaited USB-C port will be installed. It is expected that the iPhone will also discard the Lightning port in accordance with legal requirements in Europe, so there is a possibility that the USB-C port will only be applied to the iPhone 15 Pro. However, it may be encrypted so that only genuine Apple cables can be used, and fast charging may only be possible with genuine Apple cables.
- Action button: A new action button will be introduced in the iPhone 15 Pro. This action button, which replaces the existing power button, allows you to use various functions by pressing or holding it briefly. However, it may be difficult to operate for people who are not familiar with using electronic devices, which may raise issues regarding intuitiveness.
- Camera: The camera of the iPhone 15 Pro can be expected to be a big upgrade over the previous model. In particular, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will be equipped with a new periscope lens that supports up to 6x optical zoom.
- AP: The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will be equipped with the A17 Bionic chipset, Apple’s first chipset. This is a chipset manufactured using TSMC’s 3 nano process, and is expected to show a significant difference compared to the A16 Bionic chipset of the iPhone 15.
Other elements
- The signature color of the iPhone 15 Pro is expected to be dark red. Additionally, it appears that a total of four colors will be available, including graphite, silver, and gold.
- Prices are expected to increase slightly. Based on the iPhone 14 Pro Max, there is expected to be an increase of about $100.
In conclusion,
There are about four months left until the release date of the iPhone 15. In the meantime, think carefully about whether you should buy the iPhone 14 or not. If you’re looking forward to changes to the iPhone 15 Pro, it might be worth waiting until the launch date. I think it would be a good idea to refer to it in addition to the content introduced on the blog.
